Watch Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, Joe Rogan rhapsodize about AI
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia. Joe Rogan. A match made in heaven, right?
AI supporter Huang appeared Wednesday night on the Joe Rogan Experience show, hosted by AI disciple Joe Rogan, and the two got along like gangbusters, unsurprisingly.
Huang jumped in early to describe how much AI has improved, particularly through the use of his company’s GPUs.
“Over the last few years, I would say AI technology has increased, probably in the last two years alone, maybe 100 times — let’s just give it a number,” Huang said on the podcast. “Okay, it’s like a car was 100 times slower two years ago, so AI is 100 times better today.”
“Now, how did we channel this technology? How do we channel all this power?” » asked Huang. “We’ve made the AI capable of thinking, which means it can take a problem we give it, break it down, step by step. It does research before responding.”
Nvidia has already demonstrated technologies in which AI powers NPCs in video games, implying that the tensor cores of Nvidia’s GPUs will be used for more than just ray-traced rendering of photons and pixels, but will be used as a fundamental part of creative interaction.
Huang also recalled statements made by the Trump administration that Nvidia is a “national treasure,” as well as recent statements by tech executives that energy, not computing power, will be the bottleneck for AI expansion. “Every nation will benefit from AI,” Huang said. “It may not be the AI of tomorrow. It may be the AI of yesterday. But it will be very good AI. It will be truly incredible.”
Rogan, a self-proclaimed “Earthquake junky,” even called out a photo of the meeting that eventually gave birth to OpenAI, with Huang, Sam Altman and Elon Musk. “Look at that, bro,” Rogan said. “Same jacket.”
